- CONCLUSIONS: Sharing patients with other physicians who had high utilization of OS was associated with an increased likelihood of an index physician subsequently using OS at the time of hysterectomy. Future efforts to promote OS use may explore the potential benefit of strategies leveraging physician peer influence.
- CONCLUSION: Nearly half of older adults without dementia exhibit distinct cognitive profiles warranting tailored interventions. Profile 5 requires comprehensive strategies, whereas Profiles 2, 3, and 4 may benefit from orientation-targeted and intensity-varied training in other cognition domain. Incorporating specific IADL tasks (e.g., meal preparation, medication management for Profile 5 and shopping, banking for Profile 4) […]
- CONCLUSION: Older patients and patients with more comorbidities were more likely to receive 1 L ICI off-label, but these differences did not persist after FDA approval. After 1 L ipilimumab/nivolumab approval, patients receiving 1 L ICI were more likely younger, healthy, and receiving dual-ICI regimens.
- CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This qualitative interview study found important differences in priorities for AI and novel technologies for older adults across key partners. Public health, regulatory, and advocacy strategies are needed to raise awareness about these priorities, foster engagement, and align incentives to effectively use AI to improve the health of older adults.
- CONCLUSIONS: Efforts to improve the self-management of illness symptomology may mitigate challenges to social connection among middle-aged and older Black men.

- INTRODUCTION: This study aims to assess parents' willingness to modify behaviors associated with obesity risk upon a provider's recommendation in the first six months of life among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic families.
- CONCLUSIONS: Individual- and neighborhood-level structural factors partly explain inequities in NSCLC care, and their effects vary based on the phase of care. Interventions should be adapted to the phase of care.
- Despite the well-established significance of indicators of social connection for health and mortality, healthcare providers' (HCPs) perceptions of the role of social connection in physical health and the extent to which it is considered medically relevant remain unclear. This study examines the perceived importance and barriers to addressing social connection among HCPs in clinical settings. […]
- CONCLUSION: Children with asthma experience a reduction in odds of an exacerbation and symptoms after moving to lower-poverty/higher-opportunity neighborhoods. These improvements in asthma outcomes are seen regardless of baseline sex, age, body mass index, allergic sensitization, asthma severity, and premove stress.
- CONCLUSIONS: Among HUD-assisted adults, smoking prevalence has decreased, and past-year quit attempts have increased. While progress has been made, increased efforts to support smoking cessation are needed for HUD-assisted adults.
- Objectives. To develop a national, tract-level measure of neighborhood housing quality and test its validity by examining associations with population health metrics. Methods. Using microdata from the 2021 American Housing Survey postfit to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey, we developed the Housing Quality Metric (HQM), which predicts the likelihood that a US census tract contains […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Our results show an association between HL and a higher number of ADL and IADL difficulties. Adults with HL may require increased support to address difficulties with daily activities and prevent experiencing related consequences.
- Housing is relevant to quality-of-life for older adults with and without disabilities, particularly those with limited financial resources. Among 4,898 low- and moderate-income community-living National Health and Aging Trends Study respondents, we describe and examine differences in housing characteristics of older adults with (n = 2774) and without disability (n = 2124). Next, among those […]
- CONCLUSION: Effective child obesity treatment can be implemented in local communities through a partnership between clinical practices and parks and recreation providers. Future research will explore this model in combination with newer, more effective obesity treatments.
